The plum is a small, round and fleshy fruit. It comes from the plum tree, a tree native to Asia, although the writings on this subject differ. There are several varieties with different colors and tastes that you certainly know, such as the mirabelle or the damson for example. As for most fruits, it is unfortunately impossible to extract an essence naturally from the plum. Its gourmand notes are reproduced in laboratory by the means of synthesis. Perfumers use damascones, a class of molecules derived from the rose. The plum accord reveals fruity and velvety notes. It is also integrated into olfactory compositions for its delicate and floral scent, with liquorish nuances of stewed fruit.
